From the area's first base, The Sylvan Gate, turn right and walk towards the lower ground. Then take a right turn again and keep on walking until you reach a [[Grubchucker]] surrounded by clusters of mushrooms and mold. One of these hides the cave's entrance, so it's recommended to take out the Grubchucker before entering to be safe.

As you start the level, to the right there will be a purple Candypop Bud surrounded by sticky mold. Destroy them and use 5 of any Pikmin to create [[Purple Pikmin]], which will help you later on. Next is a big egg, which will hopefully give you nectar for your new pikmin.

Within the main area is a large [[Horned Cannon Beetle]]. Before you engage with it, try to break as many as the mushrooms as you can so you can get rid of the sticky mold, otherwise you won’t be able to move much around the area. After that, you can properly fight the Horned Cannon Beetle. Once you kill the beetle, it will give you the [[Creativity Conduit]]. In other sections, you can find a [[Back-at-the-Beginning Track]] and a [[leafling]], both covered in more mold. Collect both and you'll be free to move on.

Move onto another area where there are 2 Flighty Joustmite. If you kill them you will be able to move the [[Mega Horn]] safely. There is also a white Candypop Bud there, which can help with the [[Doodlebug]] and poisonous mushrooms later on. In the same area there is also a tunnel, which can make transferring treasure a lot easier.

You will then move onto an area where there will be a [[Swooping Snitchbug]] with some sticky mould patches. Once you have defeated both, walk over a patch to reveal a [[Doodlebug]]. Hitting its back will give you raw material. However, it will also trigger lots of [[Mitite]]s. On the left hand side, you can send any Pikmin to these mushrooms, however the ones with the blue spores coming out need to be hit by only the White Pikmin. Once all obstacles in the area have been cleared, you can send Pikmin to retrieve the pile of [[Gold Nugget]]s and then a few Pikmin to hit down the sand barrier that has the tunnel exit behind.  
You will then move onto an area where there will be a [[Swooping Snitchbug]] with some sticky mould patches. Once you have defeated both, walk over a patch to reveal a [[Doodlebug]]. Hitting its back will give you bomb rocks. However, it will also trigger lots of [[Mitite]]s. The Snitchbug may grab one of the bomb rocks dropped by the Doodlebug, and as bomb rocks flip the Doodlebug over, will cause a chain reaction.

The last area holds a [[Joustmite]] and a Swooping Snitchbug, though there are no more treasures, and this will simply just clear the way back to the S.S. Beagle.
